Chapter 58: The Return

20 gold pounds, drawings recording forbidden rituals, two goat horns.

That's all I learned from this trip.

Mirena Bartlet, who went to the police station to turn herself in, must bear her guilt no matter what the punishment is.

As for the Bartlets, they are accomplices and will also be punished, but Audrey Bartlet can blame her mother for all the problems and teach her to find a way to get herself back to normal.

In addition, Sherlock will contact his friends in the special department as soon as he returns, and ask them to take over the matter, so as not to let the revival church interfere and minimize the impact as much as possible.

This is the last resort, and it can be regarded as tolerant.

Old Hopper chose to stay at Ranffindor Farm to prevent them from escaping, and both of them trusted the old hunter, so they chose to leave early.

It's not pleasant to let the family stare at it with resentment.

The return trip was still a donkey cart, but the driver changed from Aldrich to Goren, and he didn't know much about what had happened today, only that Miss Audrey had been found.

He was happy for a long time, but he couldn't find the maid he wanted to share.

"These two goat horns, what are you keeping?"

Two goat horns, one large and one small, the larger one was picked up next to Aldrich's corpse, and the smaller one was handed over by Zil Bartlet.

"These are all formed strange things, now that the two blood beasts are dead, and the contract engraved on them is gone, they are equivalent to two blank pieces of paper, which can be re-engraved the contract, not necessarily useful, but very collectible, which one do you want? ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the small one is more valuable, the big one is only the volume, and the carving patterns on it are rough and delicate enough, and the carving shops in the countryside really can't expect more.

The small goat's horns are brown and gray all over, and the middle and top are also made of metal hoops, which is a good thing that has been carefully carved at a glance.

"Of course I do...... The big one. ”

Good is good, Donald doesn't dare to take the boss's favor.

"Maybe I'll give it to you, and five gold pounds, and you've done a lot of credit for this case, especially in those two battles this morning, and I wouldn't have been able to get out of the woods without you. ”

The goat's horns were handed over along with the gold coins, and looking at his assistant, Sherlock felt that he was still underestimating him, and that his talent for firearms was a mess, and he might have concentrated it somewhere else.

"Haha, I'm just a guy who puts an empty gun next to me, and that's 5 gold pounds...... A month's salary is in hand, and sure enough, following a boss like you is a future (money). ”

A little sycophant was delivered, and Donald didn't know if Sherlock had seen his two mental shocks.

Since Sherlock didn't point it out, he pretended not to know, and he wasn't prepared to rush to reveal his identity as a stranger.

Although the relationship between them during this period of time has made him understand that Sherlock's attitude towards the aliens is not harsh, but when he heard him say that he has something to do with the special department, Donald still remembered it, not that he was seriously suspicious, but the situation was different, and now he has a lot of secrets, and the fate of the aliens he met twice was so miserable.

It's better to be steady.

"That's right, following me is so much good, danger, always comes with opportunity. ”

Sherlock readily admitted his skills.

"Ahem, Sherlock, why didn't you take that 100 gold pounds before, I think even if you did, there wouldn't be much emotion on Mr. Bartlet's side. ”

He lowered his voice, trying not to let Goren in front of him hear him.

This is Donald's question, 100 gold pounds, this is the coin that the people at the bottom can only work hard for half a lifetime without eating or drinking, even Ziel Bartlet, who has a lot of capital, can take out this money to save his life, but Sherlock only takes his share.

"Remember what we discussed last night? Self-control!"

Speaking of this topic, Sherlock suddenly straightened up, the ease on his face disappeared, and instead looked at Donald more directly, and continued:

"Donald, the more times like this, the more you have to refrain from it, my brother once told me, either not once, once it starts, no matter what the consequences, the door in my heart is opened, and I can't go back when I see the desire in the door! Of course I can pick up the money and put it in my own pocket, I hold their handle, keep them and dare not say a word, even if I go to report it later, their whole family is finished, I still won't be implicated in anything, and then what?"

yes, and then what?

Everyone has a beast in their hearts, but some people shackle it, and some let it run wild.

Now it is an ordinary person, pinching the handle of others, he has to be superior to others, do whatever he wants, not only to take money, but also to denounce people and fight for a good reputation.

What about when they become aliens? Do they feel that they are superior to ordinary people, and they should let themselves take what they want?

Of course, this kind of thinking is hard to say right or wrong, after all, many people follow the law of the jungle.

Donald once thought about how he would have the strength to eat a bully meal, and if someone stopped him, he would rub a big fireball and blow people up, but when he looked around, this thought would be forced down by himself, and he would be shocked by drinking a glass of milk.

No kidding, let's be realistic.

It's hard to say what the future holds, but the current society as a whole is not chaotic, and it can be said that it is orderly, especially for the group of aliens, and even ...... There are quite a few restraints.

The ratcatcher, Mirena Bartlet, the fate of these two is proof enough.

Now the government and church forces are all over the entire Lane Empire, sparing no effort to suppress the aliens, and even formulating a complete set of laws for this purpose, under the premise that their own strength is not enough to subvert this law, you want to do whatever you want below, you have to ask the law above your head, guns and guns do not agree!

The idea of the jungle may be correct, but it is in the absence of shackles, and when you want to walk sideways, you can walk sideways, and if you want to walk vertically, you can naturally talk to people about this truth.

Powerful rule-makers have advanced weapons in their hands and powerful armies, and they are clearly aimed at aliens, and at this time they have to try to break the rules, and they turn around and say that this is the law of the jungle, which is justified.

Isn't this death?

You must know that compared to ordinary people, this era is not tolerant enough for aliens, there is no doubt about this.
